(WIAT) – A pair of K9’s are more than proving their worth after being added to the Homewood Police Department over the last year.
You are looking at roughly $125,000 of meth and Crystal Meth along with a semi-automatic pistol, ammunition, and digital scales.
Homewood patrol officers made the initial discover during a traffic stop on Tuesday, May 14th but the dogs found the bulk of the drugs concealed in a hidden compartment in the car.
